Emotional dependence
Needing another person excessively in order to feel good or secure.
What the Bible can tell you
For each man will bear his own burden.
Galatians 6:5
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
Psalms 62:5
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:7
A human reading
Loving does not mean depending on another person completely. When your peace depends on someone, it is easy to feel lost if that person pulls away. Recovering your own center is a valuable step, and you do not have to do it alone.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
